Like I said earlier, never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Cessna has certainly messed things up with designations--two different planes, the old Citation 5, improved is a CE 560; as is a Citation XLS with an entirely different fuselage and engines. And 28 years since I last flew one, I can attend recurrent and and fly any of them. The TCDS is complicated to go through as any.

Just to clarify things, we are a private operator, we have a customized runway analysis for each take-off and remain within it's limits; we have a comprehensive ops manual and a SMS program. We try to operate to FAR 121 standards, to the extent of doing 3 page airport surveys before operating into a Cat B or Cat C field. I'd like to think other private operators are a conscientious about their operations, as we do not what to put others at risk.

Mutt. Better than that, he probably says he can do a non-stop return!
